Beveridge) 901.11 - **Language:** English ### [901.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.11) These news reached us in Andijān in the month of Shawwāl (mid-June to mid-July) and as we (\_act.\_ 14) coveted Samarkand, we got our men to horse. Moved by a like desire, Sl. Mas'ūd Mīrzā, his mind and Khusrau Shāh's mind set at ease by Sl. \[Sidenote: Fol. 38.\] Ḥusain Mīrzā's retirement, came over by way of Shahr-i-sabz.\[306\] To reinforce him, Khusrau Shāh laid hands (\_qāptī\_) on his younger brother, Walī. We (three mīrzās) beleaguered the town from three sides during three or four months; then Khwāja Yahya came to me from Sl. \`Alī Mīrzā to mediate an agreement with a common aim. The matter was left at an interview arranged (\_kūrūshmak\_); I moved my force from Soghd to some 8m. below the town; Sl. \`Alī Mīrzā from his side, brought his own; from one bank, he, from the other, I crossed to the middle of\[307\] the Kohik water, each with four or five men; we just saw one another (\_kūrūshūb\_), asked each the other's welfare and went, he his way, I mine. I there saw, in Khwāja Yahya's service, Mullā \_Binā'ī\_ and Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ;\[308\] the latter I saw this once, the former was long in my service later on. After the interview (\_kūrūshkān\_) with Sl. \`Alī Mīrzā, as winter was near and as there was no great scarcity amongst the Samarkandīs, we retired, he to Bukhārā, I to Andijān. - [Previous: 901.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.10) - [Next: 901.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.12) - [Up: 901](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.11) · Pramāṇa
